Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

T"possibility that rates increases may affect some traders using long distance haulage services was admitted by Mr. Alexander Scott, chairman of the R.H.A. Long Distance Group, at the launching in London on Tuesday of the Group's new long distance rates guide.

Questioned about a possible upward tendency of rates as a result of the guide. Mr. Scott said it could well affect traders who have been taking unfair advantage of hauliers by employing concerns offering uneconomic rates. He emphasized. however, that the object of the new guide was primarily to provide R.H.A. members with a guide to a fair basis of charging for other than regular or specialized traffic. There was no thought of a general increase in rates.
